Had a flashback to The Job today. Anyone else remember The Job? Was a TV series that ran for not very long. Denis Leary played a cop who had some, er, troubles (infidelity and drug addiction leap immediately to mind). One of those extremely dry comedies that didn't have a laugh track, so you almost felt uncomfortable laughing at it -- like it was supposed to be a drama and you're a bad, evil person for laughing where you'd clearly not supposed to, because if they'd wanted you to laugh they would've put in a track to show you where, right?
(That was sarcasm.)
It does bother me that there's no room for a show like this on network TV -- a show that, instead of being a routine sitcom, was edgy, offensive, and funny as hell. I miss it.
You guys miss anything that was Cancelled Too Soon?

Hi New Kids!
Welcome. Thanks for reading!
you might laugh, BUT i loved Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. I thought that was a fantastic show and was VERY bummed out when it cancelled. Still wish it was on the air. Reminded me a lot of Little House on the Prairie, except with some sexual tension. LOL.
